Probably a coach.

They try, but often fail.

One of my favorites:

"Yes, I agree that it definitely was excessive contact, but that is not an intentional foul."

Coaches. Hard to officiate with them. Hard to officiate without them.

And why are we listening to them again? What process do coaches go through to know any rule extensively? Just like what process does an official go through to break down multiple offenses and multiple defenses? Stay in your lane.

Pretend To Listen ...

Because the biggest complaint that coaches have against officials (at least, by a CIAC survey here in Connecticut) is that officials don't listen, so we pretend to listen. I'm really good at this, ask my ex-wife.

And sometimes coaches are so loud that it's impossible not to listen to them. This is sometimes followed by the coach sitting on a cold bus the parking lot.
